Work servers empty?

Work servers empty/down or a problem on my side?

Now on the 12th attempt to get work, 3 of my 5 cores are sitting twiddling their thumbs.

(Running av methods through client cfg and service command line)

An example:

[17:38:28] + Attempting to get work packet
[17:38:28] - Will indicate memory of 478 MB
[17:38:28] - Connecting to assignment server

tried restarting router, even left it with the power brick unplugged till everything cooled down. Powered machines on just now and still nothing

For some reason this fixed it:

power down anything and everything related to computers

power back on 5 mins later.




seriously, wtf, how on earth did doing that fix it?

 

[lay-z-boy]
